And my mailing address is still the same because the address that you have is the address for our mission office, and all our mail goes there and then on mondays we go and pick it up!! Thats why i only get mail on mondays!!
Well this week was another great week here in Riverton! There are Lots of members here, willing to help with the missionary work! Which is way different than how people where in the Spanish ward i use to cover! We have dinner just about every night! And the people in this area all live in mansions so we always eat really good! we are kinda treated like royalty here! People always try to give us money! We arent suppose to except it but people will like give it to us and run! Haha its pretty odd! So this week we were knocking a door and this guy was like yelling at us and was cussing at us and his neighbor saw that and he came over and was like " dont you ever yell at missionaries ever again, they are more men than you will ever be! if you ever yell at these guys again ill kill you!" haha so we went and talked to him and it turns out he isnt a member haha so now we are teaching him and his family! He is a really cool guy, we owns a car audio and body shop, so he has really nice cars and he always trys to take us out to dinner cuz he doesnt ever eat at home! Its funny how the lord works! Also yesterday we had to give two talks at different wards! It was a very cool experience! Its funny how being a missionary makes you such a better public speaker! I spoke for like 15 min and i didnt even get to say all that i wanted to say! I could prob talk for hours about the gospel! The gospel is such an amazing thing and its the only source of true happiness in our lifes! So put you faith in Christ and strive your best to follow the commandments of god! Build your foundation on Christ! Its the only that will stay strong when hard things happen!! I love the gospel of Jesus Christ! I really like one of my companions Elder burton but my other comp elder werhli is very difficult and very disobedient! He sleeps in everyday and always has a bad attitude, i asked him why he was on a mission and he said because he wants some girl to like him! He said he doesn't trust god or anyone! I dont understand it at all!! I dont know what to do with him!! me and elder Burton kinda just ignore him and work as hard as we can!!
Tell all the kids i say hi and that i love them!!

So I was in California this past weekend and we were at a friend's of Albert's and guess what was on their fridge....a picture of Elder Stradling! Well not just him, him and two other missionaries but I was like Hey I know him!!! They're friends with the Burtons so it was a picture of Elder Burton and 2 other missionaries. It was just so weird, being in California and seeing a picture of him!
